Reviews of this kit on later models:

  • I have fitted it today and can only say that has made an awesome difference to my [VB1] scooter.
  • I did this on a 65 Allstate. I used existing wiring with no problem. It not only runs smoother, but I increased top speed about 5mph.
  • Once everything was installed, I [http://2strokebuzz.com] hooked up the ignition wires and the tempermental beast that hadn't run for almost two years started on the (literally) first kick, once I remembered to turn on the flow to the two-year-old fuel. I almost cried. It was a beautiful thing. The next morning, I cleaned up the wiring and soldered on my new connectors and stuffed everything into the PX junction box [(I decided to use a PX junction box so I'd have more room to stuff wires)]. I started it up (first kick again!) and Jeebus! The headlight was glaring, it was as bright as an average car headlight. Beautiful. Even in daylight, it was brilliant. Get this: It was daytime, and I could see the speedometer was lit. These lights are awesome, and the best part is that I can buy replacements at Pep Boys. I took it on a short ride, and nothing blew up, so I'm looking forward to getting the plates up-to-date and getting it back on the insurance so I can take a real ride. But first impressions couldn't be much better.... Cheers to Randall and ScootRS for making an affordable kit that's fairly easy to install.

Only from ScootRS! This is a very complete 12 volt CDI kit specially made for any scooter with a VL/VB1 type flywheel. Most 1950's Allstates fall into this category.

The stator can also be cut and modified by you to fit a GS150 (and clear a bump in the case under the stator) as some some customers have done, but you're on your own there.

This is probably the best upgrade to add to your Vespa. By replacing the original 6v point system with our 12v CDI kit using magnetic pick up, you get brighter lights, easier starting, and a smoother running engine. The kit includes most everything needed and all new parts:

  1. Flywheel (no fan!) and stator
  2. CDI box
  3. Upgraded Coil
  4. Voltage regulator
  5. 4 front/rear 12v bulbs including a 35w halogen headlight! (usually costs extra!)
  6. 12v brake switch conversion parts (order a 12v switch if you don't have one to convert)
  7. Wiring loom
  8. Hardware and rubber bits
  9. Flywheel puller. (PX does not fit!)

Again, the flywheel fan is NOT included. You must re-use your original fan. Check the holes are diagonally 76mm apart though you could always make new holes.

We recommend you order a spare CDI box in case yours ever fails, as they are not the same as the PX boxes your local shop usually has. See the related products.

See the tech note about wiring before ordering, as it is not simply plug-and-play! If you have no idea about scooter electrics, do NOT order this kit.

Tech Notes

We do NOT offer much wiring support for the various old models, sorry. You will have to work off of our diagram for a newer type and adjust. Upon purchase we will provide full instructions with photos for the later models (mounting is the same) showing what goes where, but you might prefer to rewire entirely and get rid of battery/rectifiers and such (the problem items anyway). Note the following:

  • It could go on the right side, but we have designed the loom with the regulator and CDI box tucked neatly in the left cowl/panel. This requires you to remove the gas tank when installing and drill holes to attach those two items as shown, and also drill a larger hole for the wiring loom to pass through. A rubber bit is supplied for this larger hole so that it matches the opposite cowl's wiring loom hole.
  • Unless you rewire the entire scooter with a full loom (which you can order separately, see related products), you will only be wiring the kit into the existing wiring. Easy but, on later models anyway, because of the original loom, the brake light will only work if the scooter's lights are turned on. In the day, if you don't already, you will need to have the lights on for the brake light to work. If you are restoring your scooter, order a complete loom and this limitation can be avoided, however the full loom uses the later VLB-type horn/light switch; you'll have to hook into yours if using a different type.
  • We have found that the original 6v horn continues to work fine, as does the little speedo light, so these are not included. You can always add them later if needed.
  • A special flywheel puller is included. A regular PX one won't work so don't try it.
  • On a Cushman Vespa with a SIEM 15mm headlight bulb holder a customer needed to use the ScootRS modern headlight bulb V1819-H-12V. Shave off the ring around the bulb. The ring is just a press fit and comes off easily. Fits like a glove.
